Inflation jumps to 3%

At the last point inflation was 2.5%, the latest data from the Office of National Statistics it has jumped 0.5% to 3%. Not a great sign and puts more interest rate cuts at doubt.

Inflation falls to lowest level since 2021

The predicted 2.1% inflation figure for September was smashed as it fell to 1.7%. What matters to us on this site is whether interest rates will now fall?

Inflation explained

There has been a lot more talk about inflation in recent weeks and months. More than usual that is for sure. When speaking with people about the economic position I find many don't really understand inflation in that much detail. No issue with that, all most want to know is how it affects them so don't spend time understanding it. I have put together this short guide to give more but not a huge amount of detail on the subject.

Inflation falls sharply to 4.6%

Inflation has come down quite significantly but that does not mean it's good news for interest rates falling anytime in the very near future.

Inflation returns to 'normal' at 2.3%

Inflation returns to a more normal level of 2.3% close to being within the target of 2%.

Inflation on the rise again

Inflation has risen following a decent downward run. What does this mean for prices and, more importantly, for mortgage holders regarding interest rates?

Inflation falls to 2%, will interest rates follow?

Inflation falls to 2%, back in line with normal levels.

Inflation holds at 2.2% in August 2024

Inflation remained steady at 2.2% in August 2024. There was hope it would dip below 2% by this point in the year, but holding instead of increasing is still welcome. It's still good news for interest rates, we hope.
